Why have I never hiked here before? Such a lovely system of trail. Some mud in a few places and a tree down right before the beach (room to walk under but probably not for horses). Otherwise trail in good condition.
Right now the rhodies are glorious and there are so many mushrooms! The ferns and madronas are also lovely.
Watch your step! There are a lot of well camouflaged newts on the trail. And a few baby toads.
Will definitely be back. Plenty of choose your own adventure routes to enjoy and we only covered about half of them.

Thanks for this trip report & pics…which trails in the park did you explore? I live nearby & paddle the water there often & your trip report has now enticed me to explore on foot 👣

We kept to the east side of the park mostly. We started on Diamond Point Trail to the beach trail. Then we followed the bluff trail before looping back. Most junctions are signed. But get a photo of the map at the trailhead.

P.S. I bet it’s nice by water too! It was fun to see a bunch of little boats out on the water. Something must have been open for fishing.
